I recently graduated from this cosmetology school, and I truly feel it’s my responsibility to leave an honest review for any future students considering it. When I first toured the school, I tried not to judge a book by its cover. It looked extremely run-down and outdated, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt, trusting that what mattered was the education inside — huge mistake. I paid $26,000 for my time here, and I genuinely feel scammed out of both my money and my time. The student experience is drastically different from what you see as a client. As a client, you might have a decent experience — but behind the scenes, it’s pure chaos. The equipment they give you is cheap and poor quality — my curling iron broke after only a few months. They were constantly out of products needed to perform services (basic things like shampoo, developer, color, foil, gloves — you name it). And when they did have products, half the time the water was shut off because of flooding or plumbing issues. During my time there, we went through two different instructors, and while there were a few who genuinely had a passion for teaching, most were outdated in their techniques and inconsistent with their methods. You could be taught something one way one day, and a totally different way the next — leaving all of us confused about what was “correct.” Preparing for state board felt disorganized and chaotic at best. Favoritism was blatant. Rules changed day-to-day depending on who you were, who liked you, and who didn’t. Some students got away with anything, while others were constantly called out. It created a toxic and draining environment. The certifications they “award” you honestly mean nothing. You leave technically “certified” in things you were barely taught. For example, the “hair extension certification” consisted of putting a single bead of tinsel into someone’s hair. That was it. Most of the time, students were teaching each other, not instructors. Instructors would spend more time bickering with each other than actually helping us, and they never agreed on the same rules or methods. Truthfully, most of the useful knowledge I gained was from TikTok, not this school — aside from the written material needed to pass exams. It’s laughable when you think about the amount of money we were paying for “professional education.” From a client’s standpoint, you can still have a good experience here — but understand that you are being serviced by students still learning, and that’s why prices are low. You get what you pay for. Clients should come in with realistic expectations. But from a student’s standpoint, I would strongly caution anyone considering this school to look elsewhere if possible. No school is perfect, and every program will have flaws, but this one is very, very flawed. The whole experience was mentally draining. This school is desperately in need of a massive upgrade — updated education methods, working facilities, actual structure, and a genuine commitment to students’ futures. Please do your research and, if you have options, choose somewhere else.
